Amazon now has 24GB M3 MacBook Air at $450 off the list price ($150+ under a discounted M4 model)

$350+ off/$1,249

Update: The deal below is now longer live but Amazon does have 24GB M3 MacBook Air at $500 off the list price today ($200 under the M4 sale price).

As the particularly notable $200 price drops continue on Apple’s latest M4 MacBook Air lineup with deals from $799 shipped, Amazon is also now serving up a particularly notable deal on the M3. More specifically you’ll find the 15-inch 24GB M3 MacBook Air sitting down at $1,249 shipped – that’s $350 under the price of the M4. 

While you can score latest 24GB M4 15-inch down at $1,399 shipped right now in all four colors, that model typically carries a regular price tag at $1,599. 

And just to put the deal price into perspective further, Apple got rid of the 8GB tiers on the MacBook Air (and other models) last year, which resulted in an effective price drop across the lineup. The 24GB model we are featuring here today carried an original list price at $1,899, before falling to $1,699 thereafter. 

This means you’re paying $650 less than this machine originally went for last September, $450 less than it sold for after the RAM bump, and $350 under the price of the M4 model that released earlier this year. 

While the M3 is not the newer M4, it is now roughly $150 less than the lowest price we have tracked on the latest model and delivers some serious value with a deal like this. Previous-gen machines aren’t for everyone, but the M3 is still a compelling option, especially with the 24GB of RAM to back it up.
